No thanks. Their communist govt. should be able to help its own people out.

[will641]

No thanks. Their communist govt. should be able to help its own people out.

so your idea of punishing the chinese government is to not help thousands of innocent people? makes sense .

[flomo]

i donated at walmart

Yeah, I'm unhappy that a bunch of fucking midgets are asking for my hard-earned money.

wow spoon you're a douchebag

No, I'm an American douche-bag. Land of the free bitches! And there's not a goddamn thing anybody can do about it.

[Alexos]

You'd have to be a real douche-bag to laugh at that imo.

[bode]

humanitarianism FTW!!!

[Lukie]

[Alexos]

hahaha

You'd have to be a real douche-bag to laugh at that imo.

[will641]

build better buildings, so they wont fall over.

maybe the corrupt businesspeople who skkimped on materials should get out their wallets to help

QFT. this is what happens when you have little or no building regulations.

sound like anti-charity to me.

[Alexos]

maybe he just doesn't like midgets

[will641]

has anyone seen the south park where cartman fights a midget? so fucking funny.

[Juked07]

I would just like to say that it's interesting that this thread transitioned smoothly from "Donate to the China Earthquake Fund" to the southpark epi where Cartman fights a midget in under a page..

[will641]

if you read any thread, it transforms into something completely off topic. and fwiw, i blame spoonitnow for this being off topic, because he is the one that slandered the chinese as midgets, which consequently made me think of cartman fighting midgets.

[UG]

I don't think spoon is wrong for thinking the way he does.

Fix it yourselves. When Katrina happened do you think China stood up and said "omg let us help american peopls of the united states of the union"?

9-11? Insert-your-disaster-here........Etc?

China has a lot of goddamn money and they can fix their own problems.




weeeeeeeee, I got political for a second

[will641]

heres the problem, the chinese government isnt going to do what needs to be done, and if they do they will do it very half-assed.

[Alexos]

It's not really about China vs US, or US vs the World really.. It's just about people helping people. Maybe I'm being idealist but if everyone says 'fuck it nobody helped us so in return I won't help anyone either' mentality then the world is fucked.

Yea the Chinese Gov't is fucked, corrupted, evil or whatever, but thats not what this is about, its about people helping other people in need.

Btw I have nothing wrong with people saying they don't wanna donate, that's totally acceptable. But I don't agree that we should punish the Chinese people (most of them poor) b/c of their goverment.

[will641]

yeah i pretty much completely agree with you alexos. tbh, the people of burma need the money wayyyyyyyyyy more than the chinese. i mean their government is doing less than shit. yeah i also dont have a problem with people not donating because as spoon pointed out its their money and they can do as they please, but dont say fuck them, they can deal with it. the way i see it is, these people could use $20 a lot more than i could. its not like anyones advocating spending your last pay check.

[aka_red]

im chinese and im not even donating. its not that i dont feel bad for my people its just that this could have happened to anybody and i wouldnt be donating for them either.

[WillburForce]

i'm hoping all the people on here who said "Fuck them" or whatever snidey remarks are leveling / joking.
And as for "who helped USA" when Katrina happened happened or 9/11, are you fucking kidding me?

China's government is a corrupt peice of shit and what'll happen if people like ourselves (who can afford it - we play cards for money FFS, we don't need to need to work 15 hour days in a rice field just to eat) don't donate, is loads of seriously poor, innocent people will die.

I'm all for a laugh and that, but this is about people dying through no fault of their won for fucks sake. Rant over.

[Pythonic]

Of course it sucks for them, and of course I don't really think like "oh well fuck the Chinese", but it's not the end of the world. It's horrible that horrible things are happening to a number of people, but in all honesty the majority of people don't donate to these things to help people, they donate to feel good about donating. That's not anybody's fault really, that's just human nature.

heres the problem, the united states government isnt going to do what needs to be done after katrina, and if they do they will do it very half-assed.

Same shit different country imo. The Chinese don't care about Chinese people, and our government doesn't care about gingers. Also, I think I remember seeing on Dateline that the first group that made it down there for the rescue effort was from fucking Canada. I don't mean Canadian, I mean left from Canada to the hurricane site. End of Katrina rant.

All-in-all, it would be great to be a total fucking balla and be able to do things to actually help people that shit like this happens to instead of just donating some money and forgetting about it, but that day hasn't came yet.

actually we did do shit about katrina, so you dont know what youre talking about. mississippi and alabama got hit really hard too, but they werent affected by it as much as louisiana, because they have terrible public officials. theres a picture in of tons and tons of school buses under water. new orleans had days to evacuate the city, they were just too fucking stupid to do it.

THERE'S A GINGER ON THE PORCH

[Lukie]

a couple points:

people use the race/racist card way too soon. I'm not saying it does or doesn't apply to this thread, but anytime somebody mentions race, especially in a negative way (even if factual or supported), they are automatically labeled a racist.

i was obviously kidding about not knowing about the earthquake. here's the thing though. i think donating to this effort would be a good cause. BUT.... there are a lot of other funds I'd donate to in OUR country before this one and i havn't gotten around to those. special emphason things like research for cancer or things of that nature.

genuine curiosity: how many chinese babies (usually female) are murdered every year because families don't want to be so heavily taxed by the government? (we're talking about fully-born and healthy babies, not abortion)

I totally agree with that. I think people should put their charitable donations towards domestic causes before some other country over seas. Just because someone isn't suffering from a visible disaster doesn't mean they aren't in as shitty of a spot. That's just my opinion. Not saying it's bad to help them out, better to help out someone than no one if you're capable.

[WillburForce]

Just because someone isn't suffering from a visible disaster doesn't mean they aren't in as shitty of a spot.

slight difference between a shitty spot and thousands dying.....

You don't think there's thousands dying in North America?

[Alexos]

If only donating to cancer research or charities for children was one pokerstars transfer away, id prolly do that instead as well... but im lazy

I think there are lots of people of dying in North America... because they eat too much, because they smoke, because they drink too much, because they crash their SUVs into a drive thru KFC, because they shoot each other, because the President has the intelligence of a retarded squirel (and thats being generous) and various other reasons (and I would also like to state that I love America and Americans -though I think it has some very backward ideas politically).

But as the richest democratic society in the history of the world I think American citizens have life pretty easy.

Compared to living in a Communist/Facist regime and all the problems associated with it: think famine, poverty, no education, no freedom of speech, no regulations, no human rights ....

All this followed by an earthquake that is going to devastate whole generations. I think donating even $10 would make a big difference.

Anyway, I've donated and I hope others will.

Those are people dying and suffering of things they've brought upon themselves. What about cancer or the many other solvable diseases/disorders people are suffering and dying from?

And it's great you donated, you should feel great about helping people out. I was just saying I believe the moneys better being spent on charitable causes here before elsewhere.

[WillburForce]

personally I don't care where people are from - if they need help, and my small donation will save some lives, I'll do it (unless they're French or German of course )
